Barcelona supports Alejandro Balde's bid to regain starting left-back role

As the new LaLiga season approaches, Barcelona expresses confidence in Alejandro Balde's potential to return to form after a setback-laden previous campaign. Balde, who emerged as a top performer in the 2022-23 season, has faced competition since Joao Cancelo's January loan acquisition. Despite recent challenges, Balde dedicated his summer to recovery and fitness training, aiming to secure his position in the starting lineup. The club remains committed to his development and has no plans to part ways as they believe he can still excel in his role.
